-mugshots This series of self-portraits is a comic depiction of staged characters that were inspired from my observation of people on the street and in media of a society. Facial expressions, hand gestures and extreme emotions have always fascinated me. Living in such a multicultural place as New York City, has given me an opportunity to observe and try to mimic a multitude of emotions. In this self-portrait series I am transforming into stereotypical characters that I created, whose mugshots are portraying various reactions to being arrested.
